Joe Biden, 76, fears his age makes him 'less appealing' as he considers running for presidency in 2020
Former Vice President Joe Biden is said to be weighing up his options for a potential run for the presidency in 2020 but is reportedly concerned that his age might prove a stumbling block in his quest for the Democratic party's nomination.
Now 76-years-old, if Biden were to run and be elected president in 2020, he would become the oldest president to take office in the country's history, surpassing the record previously set by Ronald Reagan, who was 73 when he was sworn in as commander-in-chief for the second time in 1985.
According to the Daily Mail, Biden has not yet ruled himself out of the running and is currently in discussions with friends and longtime supporters on whether he would stand a reasonable chance of winning if he were to throw his hat in the ring.
